What and How of Housins Act oF 1949 Giant Ross Carrier

The Housing Act of 1949-what it is and how it works -is explained in a 3O-page booklet, "A Handbook of Information," published by the Housing and Home Finance Agency and now available for distribution.

Operations authorized under the various provisions of the act-slum clearance, public housing, farm housing and housing research-together with a summary of the act itself, are given in this pamphlet which is designed to provide in layman's language complete information on all aspects of these programs. (The only provision of the act not covered is Title II which is a temporary extension of certain existing Federal Housing Administration mortgage-insurance operations for which further continuation is provided in other legislation being considered by Congress.)

"The information in this booklet does not attempt to be an exhaustive treatment of all details of the bill nor to answer all of the questions that'have been or will be raised," Housing Administrator Raymond M. Foley explains. "It is intended primarily to highlight and amplify the major phases of the act which are of greatest interest to the general public. Some questions must await formulation of administrative policies and regulations authorized by the act, and some depend also upon Congressional appropriations."

The slum clearance and housing research programs are to be administered directly by the Office of the Administrator in the HHFA, and public housing by its constituent, the Public Housing Administration. The farm housing program will be handled by the United States Department of Agriculture, principally through the Farmers Home Administration.

Copies of this handbook of information on provisions of tlre Housing Act of 1949, are available from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office. Washington 25 D.C., at 15 cents a copy.
